- Track key people metrics (turnover, engagement, compliance) and provide data-driven recommendations
- Lead investigations, mediate workplace issues, and manage employee relations matters with sound judgment and consistency

- Deep fluency in Colorado's employment law landscape, including Colorado HELP Rules, FAMLI, HFWA, and local ordinances
- Track record of earning trust with hourly employees and understanding what people programs actually work on the ground versus in theory
- Sound judgment in sensitive situations; ability to know when to be flexible and when to hold the line
